Today's College Tour

Today's college tour was a very interesting way for the counseling department to get its point across. I knew that counseling services where available on here on campus but i didn't know that they really meant that we could talk to them about everything. In this skit, there were some one who was struggling with a parents divorce, a homosexual who was being denied a job only because of their sexuality, and many more examples. Although it was a stretch of how many people may really act it showed that no matter what the circumstance was there was always some one their to listen to their problems.

Benefits of a Liberal Arts Program

Have ever wanted to be in college, but at the same time didn't know what you wanted to be? Well, this is very common for individuals to come to college and have no idea as to what they want to be. Many may think that they would just be waisting time but in reality it is really kind of smart to enter college with this mind set. This mind set that allows you to do this is called Liberal Arts. This is a very beneficial way to come to college and meet new people, and explore different types of career fields. Having a liberal arts education may give you the upper on those who may have went to a larger university. Because the student to teacher ratio is much lower your professors are forced to be more concerned about your education.

My Goals For the Spring Semester

Ok, i am finally done with my first college semester! Yay me....although i was adjusting to getting use to college life i know that i did not focus on my school studies as much as i should have. The thing that got me was being content with B- i thought that it was ok because i had a B. But in all reality a B- is only a couple of points higher than a C+. This semester i had an A, 2 B's, a B- and a C. Well to a student that is "average" this sounds like an ok first semester. My grades were not horrible but i was still standing at a 2.9. In my eyes and my moms eyes this is just not acceptably. I told myself that this was not acceptable and i was going to do something to improve my grades. I started this off by taking a J-term and passing with an A+. This spring i am forcing myself to stay on a schedule, and strive to make only A's and A+''s to get my GPA back to its potential.
